So. I wanted my Sim to adopt a baby, but a SPECIFIC baby. I killed the baby's mom, baby was taken by social worker, a few days later I adopt a baby girl... and I don't know who she is. Did I do something wrong? I don't know if this is a bug or not.
I COULD just put the baby in the household, but I'm considering that a last resort since then my current Sim wouldn't be recognized as family

Putting the baby into the new (to them) household so that they will raise it as their own is the only way to do this. Even with mods, such as MasterController through which we can specify and fix family tree relationships, there aren't any designations for stepparent and stepchild. The only thing we can do there is make the parents and baby have a full parent-child relationship, but then the baby would no longer be related to their now deceased birth mother.

Sims are so easygoing, it's insane. Oh look, there's a baby in my household. No idea where it came from but it needs cuddling, changing, feeding, and someday will have mood swings and want to be taught how to drive and go to Uni.
The underlying challenge for the OP though is that there really cannot be a household of just a baby even for a brief moment, as the game (modded or not) will not react well to that. These things have to be planned out pretty carefully in advance to avoid unexpected interference as described.

Of course, for the "ask to move in" option to pop, the sims need to be close to good friends and having a conversation that rates "sociable" or "friendly," but that's never been an issue.
I have never used the move in option. . Good to know that there may be another way because edit town wont let you move a minor without an adult
I actually cloned one of my favourite sims with the science machine, and now he has a twin brother, and they are both incorrigible werewolves. We go tomb raiding together quite regularly.
